Légation de Libéria
A HAÏTI

London, August 22d 1890.

My dear Friend,

I am since several days in London. I will leave to morrow for Leamington Warwickshire1 to spend one day with my old friend Major R. Stuart2 who was commander of the Bristish cavalry & was 9 year minister resident in Hayti – From there I will go and spend two days in Liverpool with my son & his five Children. I will be back in London Monday night – Wednesday night I will be in Ostend, Thursday at Bruxelles, and the 31st at Spa – On the 6 in Paris, 8 at Geneva, 9 at Berne, 12 at Paris. On the 14th I will leave to visit – le Midi de la France – On the 20 I will be back to Paris, on the 25 I will be back to Paris, on the 25 I will leave for New-York via Havre of Bordeaux – I will spend fifteen |2| days through America,3 will embarked (sic) at Tempa for Key West & Havanna and on the 20 of October I will be in Hayti – if God says so. My daughter Rose was married 5 years ago – she is a widow, with two children two years now – Corine was also married & in February she became a widower [sic] after 14 months of marriage – but with4 any child – so you see. I have been very unfortunate - & my poor children also.

It is very unfortunate that we cannot shake hand together before I leave for Haïti – but we will be perhaps more fortunate in 92 – as I intend to visit Germany, Austria & Russia.

With my best regards to your family, I remain, dear & good friend very truly yours
J. J. Audain
